Thanks! I had noticed the addition just minutes after I made that first
posting (don't think it was there the last time I looked).
The CPU board on my Horizon does not have the EPROM option populated, but
I was able to scrounge up the parts and will add it myself.
It would really be lovely if a Catweasel driver with N* hard-sector write
support existed. I may look into this at some point.

Where can I
get ahold of the image for that ROM monitor? I have a Horizon
here that came with 9 boxes of hard-sectored diskettes. Unfortunately all
of them are blank :-). Any tips on bootstrapping my way into a functional
system would be greatly appreciated.
I've been handing it out on a request basis, however I've just updated the
Horizon tools on my web site to include the monitor (source and tools to
build it) as well as updated the documentation with some hints on how to
go about making it work.
Go to "Download simulators and emulators" near the end of the main page,
and get the Horizon simulator - the simulator also includes all the tools
to bootstrap and transfer disk images to real NorthStar based systems. The
package includes bootable Double and Single density NorthStar DOS disk
images which you can customize (using the simulator) if needed. Once you
get the system up and running, check my site for other NorthStar images
which may be useful to you.
